ynthia Zahoruk Architects have a team of architects, project managers, and designers with extensive experience in the architectural design of many diverse building types, sizes, and budgets including multi-residential apartments, senior’s residences, office buildings, commercial buildings, medical facilities, private recreational facilities, and custom homes. It’s what has made them one of the top architectural firms in Burlington. Today’s architectural client is more sophisticated and informed than ever with a vast array of design websites available with a multitude of building ideas and photos. In past, architects would have to sort through all this material, do multiple renderings, and in collaboration – meaning multiple meetings, eventually resulting in the final design. This is where Building Information Modelling (BIM) software’s approach has become significantly more efficient than the traditional 2D drafting-based approach, as architect and client collectively work to make the vision into a reality. Cynthia Zahoruk, Principal Architect at Cynthia Zahoruk Architects, notes how advanced 3D imaging using Enscape™ a real-time 3D rendered walkthrough of projects in Autodesk® Revit® software allows clients to walk

through views of buildings and spaces as they are being designed. “Clients really appreciate this interactive software as do Contractors. Just today a contractor had a question about a wall detail, and we were able to illustrate the construction from several 3D viewpoints on our large screen monitor” says Zahoruk. “It assists us in reducing conflicts with beams and ducts and getting an early impression of what the spaces we are creating will actually “feel” like when they are built.” With a full-service approach to architecture and in using the latest technology, at Cynthia Zahoruk Architects, design becomes a process of integrating program and environment and then finding a unique solution through a thorough design development process.
